Prof. Dr. Ceren Çıracı Muğan’s new project entitled “The Functional Characterization of Eosinophils in Viral Immunity and Analysis of Underlying Mechanisms via CARD9/NOD2 Axis in Crohn’s Disease” was accepted by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) within the scope of the 1001-Scientific and Technological Research Projects Funding Program.

Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell (leukocyte) that plays a critical role in the immune system, particularly in allergic reactions and combating parasitic infections. This project aims to reveal the functions of eosinophils in generating viral immune responses while changing and diversifying the way we evaluate Crohn’s Disease and numerous diseases, including autoimmune celiac disease and inflammatory bowel diseases.
